So sorry for not getting back to you sooner, for some reason I didn't see that you'd replied. Thank you for that, it seems to have done the trick! Thanks again James JamesMcBride's Profile:

Hi, Thanks for that, unfortunately I've not got round to trying it yet as I've been using an ethernet-serial converter for now. An issue I'm having now is with my other AVR, which is an old 3803, which I thought I'd use for my bedroom. Unfortunately this doesn't like being asked the status of

Unfortunately it still seems to hang though... I'll have to have a look at it a bit further myself, I think there's got to be something not quite right with the amp: Code: # tail -f /var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log | grep Denon [13-08-02 15:16:47.0503]

OK, I think I've discovered that my amp doesn't like to be questioned about it's status whilst it is off. Once it has been turned off the first query works. Subsequent queries are just ignored, which seems to be what is causing the issue. I'm going to try to work around it for now by setting

It's very strange! I never had this problem with my (lesser) 3310, which did have LAN too. I've been trying to get Serial working as I'm guessing it might be more reliable, but I'm struggling with that too - the errors I get suggest that it can't use the perl serial plugin, so I got a

Hi, Thanks for coming back to me again. I've noticed it happening quite regularly on my new amp, which is actually a slightly older model (now got a 4308a and used to have a 3310). I did try switching to using the serial interface instead, but that seemed to introduce more problems, I think

Hi, Thank you very much for getting back to me on this. It seems it was my fault that the volume wasn't working - the bit that I'd removed from the Plugin.pm file which checked for a digital output had just stopped the volume working all together. In the end I gave up with SoftSqueeze,

Hi Peter, I was wondering if you are still able to offer advice on this? I am struggling to get the volume control to work using the DenonSerial plugin with either SoftSqueeze or SqueezeLite. I'd ideally like to use it with SoftSqueeze, as that is what comes installed with Vortexbox. The first
